Yes it was a fantastic event which I was waiting with much expectation.
Regarding winding: my experience with all brand new Speedys is that they are very tight when you start wearing them, and to this you have to add that the crown is very close to the small crown guards which makes it hard to the index and thumb the winding action.
It keeps this way for some time till the parts involved smooth with use. I was told that it is mainly produced by the tightness of the seals in the winding stem, so when the friction actuates after many windings things get better.
Both 50th Anniversary models (steel and Moonshine) are not exceptions. They are very tight but I expect it will happen the same as my other Speedys with use.
Keep enjoying your beautiful Apollo 8 DSOTM so much Fernando!
Cheers! Abel.
